Q; Why does Riker not beam Geordi back immediately Troi tells him that the Pakled have intrigue, not innocence, on their minds?
A; My theory is that it was because Geordi is, after all, a big boy now, armed with a phaser and under most circumstances perfectly capable of taking care of himself. Also, the Pakleds only had their cranky old craft to rattle around in, and Riker had the flagship of Starfleet under his command.
Q; When Picard tells Wesley of how he suffered having a sharp implement run through his back and saw the point of it protruding from his chest and says that he hopes Wesley never has an experience like that, why isn't he aware that in an earlier episode ('Hide and Q') just that very thing happened to Wesley?
A; I think we might conjecture that he must have forgotten the incident. He never saw it anyway as he was on the Bridge. Interesting to notice that young Wesley apparently has the grace not to remind him.
Sonya is happily less kooky in this episode.
